Alone at night 'neath the cold, blue sky,
Alone in the center of a shoreless sea;
Oh, graven image draw nearer still,
Draw near to my new-cut tomb.

Alone in the depths of a darkened night,
Alone by the fiery door of hell;
Oh, graven image come closer still,
Come close by my new-cut tomb.

Alone in the heart of a burning desert,
Alone in a ghost-ruled world;
Oh, graven image walk nearer still,
Walk near to my new-cut tomb.

No more this earth I'll walk alone,
Only alone in endless time;
Oh, graven image draw nearer still,
Draw near o'er my fresh-filled tomb.
